In 1994, music trade publication RPM considered her the ninth top Canadian country artist of the past 30 years based on her standings in the publication's charts.

Leigh recorded in the late 1960s for the American label Chart Records but failed to make the US charts with any single releases. Her Canadian hits "The Wife You Save May Be Your Own" (written by Liz Anderson) and "I'm Gonna Let George Do It" are featured in the 1969 Chart compilation album Best of Our Country Girls with additional tracks by Lynn Anderson, Maxine Brown, Connie Eaton, and LaWanda Lindsey.

In the 1970s, she was a co-host on the CHCH-TV series The Harry Hibbs Show and also recorded for Ray Griff's Global Television series.
